ANCHI Vs. TEJ SINGH

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS is a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution filed by the petitioners who claim themselves as co-opted members of the Jetasar Gram Panchayat, praying that the judgment pronounced by the learned Civil Judge, Ratangarh, on 16th of April, 1962 as an Election Tribunal while disposing of an election petition No. 220 of 1961 under rule 78 of the Rajasthan Panchayats and Nyaya Panchayat Election Rules, 1960 be quashed.

(2.) IT is necessary to mention in this case that the petitioners have not put on record even a single document, except the judgment of the learned Tribunal, which were referred during the course of arguments by the petitioners and found necessary for deciding this writ petition. This is a novel procedure adopted by the petitioners. In matters where writ of certiorari is prayed, it is necessary for the petitioners or the opposite parties to place on record every document which, in their opinion, is necessary for the disposal of the petition. In the absence of any document on the file of this Court, the original record was summoned and the writ petition is decided by referring to the documents filed before the Tribunal.
